Many children, many blessings; a stunningly beautiful wife is given to you right from the start.

Go around it!

They rushed into the backyard!

Kill their entire family!

Chen Wanjin's orders were like thunderclaps, exploding in the ears of every Black Tiger Gang member.

Everyone instantly realized what was happening.

Yup!

Why bother fighting this iron turtle head-on?

No matter how good they are at fighting, they can't protect the entire Dingbei Prefecture!

"Charge!"

"Charge into the backyard!"

The Black Tiger Gang members instantly found a new outlet, howling and barking as they tried to bypass Qin Ruxue's formation and head straight for the moon gate leading to the backyard.

Qin Ruxue's pretty face turned cold.

"Change formation!"

"snake!"

She gave a sharp shout and issued the order again.

The circular formation, which originally rotated like a millstone, stretched and deformed instantly.

The movements of the thirty guards were fluid and seamless, as if they were a single unit.

Ten heavy shields stood in front, forming a moving iron wall that swept horizontally, blocking the only way to the backyard.

Behind the shield wall, spears emerged from the gaps, forming a cold, deathly jungle.

"Pfft! Pfft!"

The gang members at the front couldn't stop in time and crashed headlong into the hail of bullets, instantly riddled with wounds.

The fallen corpse became a stumbling block for those who came after.

In an instant, the Moon Gate became an insurmountable line of flesh and blood.

Chen Wanjin's eyes twitched violently.

He never expected that these mere thirty people would actually make such a spectacle of the formation!

These aren't servants or guards, are they?

This is a regular army!

If this continues, the three hundred men he brought will probably be worn down and die here!

More importantly, the longer it drags on, the greater the variables will become!

When that little bastard Lin Mo comes back...

No!

We must finish this quickly!

A ruthless glint flashed in Chen Wanjin's eyes. He suddenly turned his head and looked at his two trusted confidants beside him.

These two people, one as thin as a bamboo pole, the other as short as a winter melon.

Both were ruthless killers who didn't blink an eye, and their lightness skill was superb.

"You two, climb over the wall from the side."

Chen Wanjin's voice was extremely low and sinister.

"Keep it down, go to the backyard and tie one up alive."

He paused, then added.

"Remember, live. It matters!"

Bamboo Pole and Dwarf Gourd exchanged a glance and instantly understood each other.

The two nodded and silently retreated into the darkness, disappearing from the top of the wall in a few leaps.

After doing all this, Chen Wanjin turned his attention back to the battlefield.

He screamed at the top of his lungs.

"What the hell are you all standing there for! Use our dead brothers as human shields, charge!"

"There are only thirty of them! How long can they hold out? We'll wear them down, we'll wear them down!"

"Once we capture Dingbei Prefecture, we can take all the gold and silver treasures! And the women, we can have our way with them!"

Under the reward, there must be a brave man.

The Black Tiger gang members, who were already somewhat timid, turned red-eyed upon hearing this.

"Damn it! Let's fight them!"

"For gold! For women!"

"Kill them—!"

Driven by money and women, the Black Tiger gang launched another frenzied attack.

They no longer even dodged the spears, but instead used the corpses of their comrades as human shields to push forward!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

The corpses slammed violently against the shields, the sounds of steel blades slashing echoing through the air, sparks flying everywhere.

The guards behind the shield felt the pressure increase dramatically, and several of them had their hands split open from the shock, with blood flowing down their arms.

But they gritted their teeth, their feet firmly planted on the ground, refusing to retreat an inch.

The battle was extremely fierce.

Qin Ruxue stood in the center of the formation, calmly giving instructions, but her heart sank deeper and deeper.

The guards' strength was being rapidly depleted, and she knew that this couldn't go on.

……

Meanwhile, in the backyard of Dingbei Prefecture.

Tianxin Pavilion.

This is Lin Mo's residence. At this moment, it is brightly lit, yet deathly silent.

Eight women of different styles, along with all the maids and servants in the mansion, gathered here.

The shouts of battle, the clash of weapons, and the screams of the dying coming from the front yard felt like an invisible hand gripping everyone's hearts.

The women all turned pale, some covering their mouths tightly to stop themselves from crying out loud.

Only Liu Yiyi.

She stood alone by the window, gazing motionless towards the front yard. Her usually captivating eyes were now filled with an unyielding sorrow.

She didn't understand military strategy; all she knew was that her second sister was leading a mere thirty men to fend off hundreds of vicious and ruthless thugs.

Each scream felt like a knife twisting in her heart.

What to do...

Lin Mo...where are you...?

Just as she was becoming increasingly anxious.

A very faint "click" came from the window next to her.

It wasn't the sound of a window being pushed open.

Liu Yiyi's heart skipped a beat!

She suddenly turned her head!

Two dark figures, like ink seeping from the darkness, silently slipped in through the cut windowpane!

Incredibly fast!

"have--"

Liu Yiyi had just opened her mouth, but hadn't uttered a single word yet.

The slender figure had already approached like a ghost, and a cold hand covered her mouth tightly!

With her other hand, a gleaming dagger was already pressed against her fair neck.

"ah--!"

Only then did the maid in the corner react and let out a terrified scream.

"There's an assassin!"

"Protect the ladies!"

Hearing the commotion, the guards outside the attic roared and burst through the door.

however.

"Pfft! Pfft!"

Before the two guards could even see each other clearly, they collapsed, clutching their throats, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Fresh blood splattered in front of Liu Yiyi's eyes.

She was being held captive by the bamboo pole, but her mind was racing.

What should I do?

"Walk!"

The short, wiry man swiftly and efficiently dealt with the guards, letting out a low shout.

The bamboo pole, no longer lingering, took Liu Yiyi hostage and prepared to retreat through the back window.

Liu Yiyi was dragged along, stumbled, and fell towards the bamboo pole.

But just as she fell,

Liu Yiyi suddenly yanked the gold hairpin off her head and, with all her might, stabbed it hard into the eye of the bamboo pole!

This is the only weapon she can use right now!

Bamboo Pole hadn't expected this seemingly weak woman to resist. His eyes turned cold, and he abruptly tilted his head to the side.

The sharp end of the gold hairpin grazed his cheek, leaving a bloody mark.

"court death!"

He was utterly enraged.

With a swift and vicious backhand chop, he struck Liu Yiyi on the back of the neck.

"Well……"

Before Liu Yiyi could even utter a sound, her eyes instantly lost their luster, and her delicate body slumped to the ground.

……

forecourt.

The battle has reached a fever pitch.

However, at that moment...

"Stop it, all of you!"

An arrogant voice suddenly came from the side.

Everyone froze in their tracks.

Two men, Bamboo Pole and Shorty, were seen swaggering over, holding an unconscious woman hostage.

The woman's carefully styled hair was now disheveled, with a few strands of hair clinging to her pale face.

It was Liu Yiyi.

A gleaming dagger was pressed firmly against her fair and slender neck.

"Third Sister!"

When Qin Ruxue saw Liu Yiyi being held hostage, she felt a surge of blood rush to her head.

"stop!"

She sternly stopped all the guards from moving.

The once impregnable "snake" formation came to a standstill in an instant.

"Hahahaha!"

Chen Wanjin let out a triumphant laugh.

He knew he had made the right bet!

This woman we captured is more useful than killing a hundred guards!

"Chen Wanjin!"

Qin Ruxue's phoenix eyes almost spit fire, and her voice trembled.

"You old dog! You resort to such despicable tactics when you can't win a fight! Have you no shame?!"

"Face?"

Chen Wanjin felt as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.

"Can that stuff be eaten as a meal?"

"Little girl, all's fair in war, don't you understand?"

He smugly pointed his finger at the unconscious Liu Yiyi, his smile growing increasingly twisted and sinister.

"Now, I'm giving you a choice."

"Make your men lay down their weapons and kneel down to surrender."

"otherwise……"

Chen Wanjin drawled out his words, placed his hand in front of his neck, and made a cutting motion, his eyes filled with venom.

"Otherwise... I'll slit her throat right in front of you, slice by slice, until she's dead!"
